Have we ever had a team this unified?

Not an ego in the bunch. EVERY SINGLE VET on the bench exploding when Mitchell hit that last 3. Mitchell talking Crowder down, the bromance between Rubio and Mitchell at the end. To a man they love playing together. The only team I can think of with that dynamic in recent memory were the warriors last year. And look where it got them (along with their 73 all-stars of course).

I think the Finals teams were. It’s just something we haven’t seen in 20 years or if you were swimming around in your father at that time.

I can't think of another franchise who's players LOVE one another as these guys seem to do. Not even the dubs. And unlike the Warriors, no one is even a showboater.

Not even close.

I think it’s all because of Burks. He is the glue

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Probably not. The Jazz's best talent has always been insular and introverted.

Even those teams had their malcontents. Ostertag was an example. This team to a man love each other and love playing together. Very rare.

He jacked up that garbage time three like a boss. It really rallied the troops.

Well, last season Joe Johnson talked about the Jazz having no knuckleheads. But we know Hayward was somewhat isolated from the rest. With offloading Hood for Crowder, I'd probably guess this is the most unified. But as Avery mentioned, a lot of us aren't old enough to remember the Finals teams.

Last year there was the Hill/Gobert controversy.

The Utah Jazz have the best locker room in the NBA. It's not even close.

Crack open a dictionary and look up "team" and you'll see a picture of the Utah Jazz.

I hope so badly that they get past the next round (obviously I really hope they win a championship) because at that point the media attention and the debate as to why they are so good will come around to how well they support each other. I think Quin is a huge part of that culture, but obviously, beyond complimenting each other skill-wise, they all have the "character" and their personalities mesh.

Most likeable team the NBA has ever seen, only most people don't know enough about this team to see it... yet.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

I have been watching for a long time and I don't recall a team even being close to this unified. The finals years there were often spats or at the least love/hate relationships between foster, malone, Larry h, and osterfart. There were a few years with Millsap and memo that were pretty good, but AK, Boozer, and slick wildly all had their selfish moments... not even to mention coach.

This is a VERY unique couple year and it was very good with Hayward last year but clearly they have built on it.
